How to cut a hole in a layer please?


Recommended Posts

Say you want to cut a circle hole in a square shape.

1. Draw the square first, so it's on the bottom.

2.  Draw a circle second, so it's on top. (the top shape will always cut out of the bottom shape) 

3. Select both shapes, right click, select GEOMETRY > SUBTRACT. 

Done.

The above works for the desktop versions.

On the iPad:

  1. Tap the Commands button at the top of the screen (looks like an ellipses "...")
  2. Select Geometry > Subtract
